Ergou was completely panicked, "It's not me, it's not my idea, it's all Xu Jiaojiao's instigation. Moreover, I didn't dare to poison. These are croton powder. If you eat them, you will have diarrhea at most. If you don't want to kill people, I will

I’ve said what needs to be said, can you let me go now?”

Sheng Qingyuan said coldly: "It depends on the official's final decision."

"You lied to me!!"

"I have never promised to let you go, but when you go to court tomorrow, whether you have to bear all the crimes yourself, or whether you have to reveal the mastermind behind it, the punishment for the two is very different."

Sheng Qingyuan analyzed Ergou in a cold voice.

After saying that, Sheng Qingyuan said to Li Gen: "I'll have to help Uncle Genzi to take a closer look tonight."

Li Gen grinned and said, "This is a small matter, I'll take care of it. Girl, go and have a rest."

"good."

When the people from Tianxiang Tower came to collect pickled bamboo shoots the next day, Sheng Qingyuan followed them to Tianxiang Tower and told the truth about Ergou's chin bean noodles.

After hearing this, the shopkeeper became furious.

If the customers get sick from eating in his restaurant, then he doesn't need to continue his business.

The shopkeeper immediately went to the Yamen with Sheng Qingyuan to meet the county magistrate.

The shopkeeper had a good relationship with the county magistrate. When he heard about this, he immediately asked Ergou and Xu Jiaojiao to be brought here.

When Xu Jiaojiao was brought to the Yamen by the yamen servants, she looked stupid and shouted: "I am Xu Lizheng's granddaughter! You can't arrest me, you can't arrest me!"

The county magistrate listened to her words and slapped the gavel hard. Xu Jiaojiao was so frightened that her knees immediately softened and she knelt down with a "pop".

"Xu Jiaojiao, someone accused you of instructing Zhang Ergou to drug the sour bamboo shoots sent to Tianxiang Tower. Did you know about it?" the county magistrate asked coldly.

Xu Jiaojiao immediately retorted: "I don't know, this matter has nothing to do with me!"

Xu Jiaojiao pointed at Ergou and asked angrily: "Why are you slandering me?!"

Ergou's eyes widened, "Am I slandering you? It was obviously you who asked me to put medicine into the sour bamboo shoots! I originally just wanted to smash the jars containing the sour bamboo shoots, but it was you who gave me the croton powder and asked me to sprinkle it.

In the sour bamboo shoots!”

Ergou argued to the county magistrate: "Sir, my family is so poor that we can't even eat. If I have the money to buy croton flour, I might as well buy myself a meat bun and fill my stomach!"

"As far as I know, his family really doesn't have much money." Sheng Qingyuan said lightly.

Ergou nodded quickly and took out two coins from his pocket: "I will promise Xu Jiaojiao. It was Xu Jiaojiao who promised me that she would give me one hundred coins when the matter was completed. She also gave me five coins first.
Chapter completed!
